LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Heskey to Villa for £3.5mill confirmed by Villa. Dirt cheap compared to Brucey's valuation of him. So much for Liverpool wanting him (if they did it serves them right for trying to get him on a free in the summer). I'm sure he'll get more games at Villa though.

Dave Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Heskey to Villa for £3.5mill confirmed by Villa. Dirt cheap compared to Brucey's valuation of him. In today's market that's a terribly low price. Is he out of contract in June? I can't see why else he's been allowed to leave for so little. Yeah, he's out of contract. But I'm sure Bruce said it'd take double figures to get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 He is supposedly going to receive his first full German cap next month. Which isn't half bad for a 19 year old playing in a lower league. It wasn't that long ago Germany wouldn't have any Black players in their squad they seem to have adopted a much more multi-ethnic attitude in recent years in regards to the picking of their squad good to see though not sure race and nationality has ever been so healthy in football. That reminds me - what's Odonkor up to? He looked as fast as anything, decent right winger in the few times I saw him for Germany. (Just signed him in PES too....) only good in PES Odonkor is terrible. An awful player. All he has is pace. No control, can't cross, can't shoot and generally can't really do anything that involves striking a ball well. Aaron Lennon on a bad day is him on a fantastic day. Amazed he's played in a WC semifinal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Bullard has signed for Hull City. Glad we haven't signed him now to be honest, signing for them shows his obvious lack of ambition. We don't need to sign people like him who are simply chasing the £££'s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Heskey is obviously being signed to hold the ball up for Agbonlahor, to play a similar role he does with Owen for England. Liverpool apparently trying to get him for nowt in the summer, the tightarsed mooses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to sign people like him who are simply chasing the £££'s. That's amazing. I didn't think Fulham would accept £5m and I certainly didn't think he'd actually go there. As you say, perhaps we've dodged a bullet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Perhaps Hull offered Bullard the security he wasn't getting at Fulham? Good signing for them, though. Best player on the pitch when we played them at VP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustynrg Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Heskey to Villa for £3.5mill confirmed by Villa. He has always looked a very good foil for Michael Owen in past England games and at £3.5 million extraordinarily cheap, surprised were not in for him to be honest. So you seriously think he would come here with Owen on his way out, us showing zero ambition and on the verge of relegation? As opposed to Villa, riding high in the table, all sweet and fine with the manager and owner and fans all clappy happy? Can I have some of your happy pills?

No I think your right if it was a straight choice between the clubs Martin O'Neil being the biggest factor I would of thought. However at £3.5 million it wouldn't of been too difficult to have been the front runners if we were prepared to pay higher then everyone else.
